Descripción
Medan is a cool city to check out authentic local culture in Indonesia. There is almost no tourist here. Kualanamu airport KNO is the main entry point to Sumatra, sixth largest island in the world with interesting places such as Bukit Lawang (Orang Utan), Lake Toba (the world largest volcanic lake), Nias (surfing) and more. Great to explore Sumatra first, before going on to Jakarta, Java, Bali, Lombok, Raja Ampat and more.

We are hoping to find volunteers from all over the world to do activities and teach all sort of skills to our kids. We are a local family with young boys in Medan. We can provide accommodation, meal, transport and more.

NOTES: Due to coronavirus situation around the world, we are currently unable to host. However, we are looking for online activities (ie. Zoom) for our boys to learn art, drawing, music, languages (Chinese, English, etc) and more. Feel free to message us, we can work something out.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Usually Medan is the entry point to explore Bali and the rest of Indonesia. Not many tourists and expats, so not much information available online. We have loads of great local information and tips, and can help you to plan the best for your trips around here. There are Lake Toba (the biggest Volcanic lake in the world), Bukit Lawang (Orang Utan), Nias (top surfing location) and more.
Ayuda
We are looking for volunteers with any kind of skills (swimming, music, art, sport, yoga, fitness, meditation and so on) to teach our boys.

The boys go to school in the morning, volunteers can plan afternoon activities for the boys. So the boys will have proper one or two hours time with volunteers for reading, drawing, playing, cooking, gardening and others.

Please send us your proposals and indicate your skills.

Dejado por el workawayer (Shiika) para el anfitrión

I stayed Medan for about 7days. It was first workaway for me, and I was little nervous.
However, Jerry and Imelda greeted me very warmly. They told me some good place in Medan and introduced delicious Indonesian food to me.
The two boys, James and Philipp were friendly and curious. We enjoyed playing Japanese toys and swimming.
I enjoyed exploring… read more

Shiika was great with the kids and spent lots of time with them. She seemed to buy simple toys for them almost daily. We of course don't need for the volunteers to buy things for the kids, they have lots of toys already. Shiika also got chances to check out many places in Medan, and try out food here. Also, she got a chance to do day trip to Lake… read more

Lotte was really great. She was really great with the boys, doing Yoga, Dutch pancakes and more. The boys really enjoyed the time with her. Her family used to live in Medan during colonial era and still had old photos, so I think it was like a pilgrimage back to old home. I hope Lotte has enjoyed Medan and thanks for coming.

I stayed with Jerry and his family for about 12 days. Medan is not a city I would have thought about visiting if it was not for my family history, but I am glad I did this exchange as it was a very nice opportunity to get to know the area. I spent a few hours per day with the boys; making Dutch pancakes, doing yoga or playing games. They are so… read more

Leysan is just great for us, with us for two weeks more. We all got to do lots of Yoga. The boys' cousins were visiting, so it was really fun seeing all the kids doing Yoga. I hope Leysan had enjoyed Medan and the food here. Thanks you very much and may we meet you at other places in the world.

You definitely should try to Durian in Sumatra! it's one of the best and the local pancakes are just delicious !
As for Medan itself, here isn't many things to do, but Jerry and Imelda always conduct me over the nice places.
One more thing, if you want to feel yourself as a movie star, then take a walk. Alone :) Everybody will say "how are… read more

Emma is great and fun with the boys. They still ask about going to swim with Emma. Even though Emma has traveled for months, but still ready to check out and explore new places. We hope Emma had enjoyed Medan. Hopefully Emma will do more longer volunteering with us in the future. Thanks Emma!

Time with Mirna is definitely very short, only got to do little activities with the boys. Hopefully we have showed a small slice of Medan city life. Mirna seems to have enjoyed Bukit Lawang and Lake Toba trip.

My friend Michelle and I just stayed for two weeks with Jerry and Imelda's family. First, we wanted to thank them for the warm welcome and for helping us with our travel plans, arranging pick up and drop off. They are really trustworthy and generous people.

Annika was great with the boys, and they miss her already. She was with us for 2.5 weeks, and it was during the Chinese New Year event. So she got to experience a little bit of Chinese New Year festivities here. Hope you have enjoyed your time in Medan. Thanks!

Dejado por el workawayer (Aigul) para el anfitrión

I did a workaway for 2 weeks with Jerry and his family in UAE. It was a bit tiring (10-12 hours a day) but a great experience! I was babysitting his two boys: Philip and James, 3 and 5 years old. Both kids are very sweet, smart and sociable. I just loved the time spent with them. Both kids are quite independent (can use the bathroom on their own,… read more tie their shoes etc...) Despite the similaries they are quite different from each other. Philip, the younger kid, is more playful. He is more into games that require energy. He is more easygoing, emotional (stops crying as soon as he starts it) but a bit more selfish. He is more vibrant and displays his leadership skills more vividly. He is also easier to pursuade into smth. (for ex: it is possible to pursuade him that it is okay for him to give away the toy that his older brother needs now while at times it is almost impossible to pursude James to give away his toy to Philip) James on the other hand is more sensitive, more of an introvert and into intellectual games. He doesn't start crying easily but if he does it is painfully hard to make him stop crying even after he gets what he wants.
I think i did a great job in babysitting them as I feel that at the beginning of my workaway experience they both used to cry more often. After a week or so they became more playful (possibly due to the time spent playing with both) and remained more peaceful. Originally, my workaway was supposed to last 2 weeks but Jerry cut it short for a couple of days as kids were doing pretty good without me by then. Also one tip: if you are planning on doing an acitivity I would recommend either everyone be involved including Imenda & Jerry or if Imenda is busy than just you and the kids. When I was on my own with the kids they never cried and were very much engaged into the process. But if Jerry was there they would always ask for Imenda as well. If she is nearby it's ok but if she is far finding her first would be your goal :)
Kids eat a lot of fast food as well as Jerry and Imenda but fortunately, drink mainly still water. Part of the struggle for me (as someone into healthy diet) was consuming fast food everyday and sometimes 3 times a day. Other than, I had an amazing experience as this was my first time as a workaway volunteer. Miss the kids and often think about them. I am pretty sure though that with Jerry and Imenda's efforts (who do all their best to make sure that kids have everything they need) they will have a happy and fulfilling life. If you still have questions, feel free to pm.

My boys still miss Adele from time to time. They definitely love the swimming and the reading. Come back again to Medan. We need more people coming through Medan and Sumatera.. haha.. As Adele mentioned, she was probably the only foreigner around most of the time, when she explored Medan. Thank you!

I recently stayed with Jerry and his lovely family in Medan. I have to mention just how welcome they all made me feel, keen to involve me in family days out, Halloween celebrations, involving me with their two nannies, family meals and their normal day to day routines. I feel they really went out of their way to not only show me the city from a… read more
